MicroMemo Digital Audio Recorder for iPod Coming Soon

XtremeMac announced that its MicroMemo digital audio recorder for iPod will begin shipping in early July and will carry a $59.95 suggested retail price. The one-touch recording device incorporates a detachable, omnidirectional microphone and a built-in speaker for instant playback without headphones.

MicroMemo attaches to the iPod via the Dock connector and records 16-bit audio in high- or low-quality formats. The microphone is detachable from its 3.5 mm port, which can toggle between microphone or line-in settings for use with stereo microphones or other audio devices. When attached to the iPod, MicroMemo activates the iPod's menus and displays recording time on-screen. XtremeMac is now taking pre-orders for MicroMemo via its Web site and will ship directly to consumers upon availability. [Bill Fox]
